Shiitake capsules: a simple way to take Shiitake

What is Shiitake?

Shiitake, Lentinula edodes, is the brown-capped mushroom that farmers in Japan and China have grown on logs for centuries. In Chinese it goes by Dong Gu or Xiang Gu. It is best known in the kitchen for its deep, savoury taste, and it has long been valued in traditional East Asian practice as well as on the dinner table. Today it is one of the most familiar mushrooms in the world.

What is in our Shiitake capsules?

Each pot contains 90 vegetable capsules filled with Shiitake mushroom. The shells are plant-based, so the capsules suit vegans. Shiitake naturally contains beta-glucans and other compounds researchers are studying, which is one reason it turns up in so many daily wellness routines. Our products are lab tested, and the pot is priced at £34.80.

How do I take them?

Follow the serving on the label and swallow the capsules with water. Tying them to a fixed point in your day, such as lunch, means you do not have to remember them separately. Keep the pot sealed, in a cool, dry cupboard, away from children. A pot of 90 sits neatly on a shelf or in a desk drawer, and because there is nothing to mix or measure, the capsules are just as easy to take at work or on holiday as they are at home. If you ever miss a day, simply carry on as normal with the serving on the label.

Why choose capsules over cooking with Shiitake?

Shiitake has one of the strongest flavours of any common mushroom. That is wonderful in a ramen broth but not something everyone wants every day. Capsules take the taste out of the picture completely. They are also consistent: the same pot, the same routine, with no soaking, slicing or cooking. If you love the flavour, you can of course do both, and keep capsules for days when you are not cooking.

Which Shiitake format suits you?

• Capsules: no taste, no prep, easy to carry. Best for a set daily routine.
• Powder: the Shiitake mushroom powder adds rich umami to broths, gravies and sauces.
• Dried: whole dried Shiitake at £4.50 for 50g is for cooks who want texture as well as flavour.
